30 AND PAIIT COMPANY. 



I appointed the mate to be mattre de chasse, 

 and entrusted him with one of the Terry s 

 rifles, and a single-barrelled shot-gun, with lots 

 of powder, shot, caps, and cartridges ; we then 

 parted company, and proceeded to make our 

 selves as comfortable as circumstances would 

 admit of on board the sloop.
